QUESTION: How to find machines closest by address?

[dbrian57]

Hi! This API is super cool!

I'm in a software dev class and a group of us are trying to integrate this API into our final project. We just wanted to know though if there was a way to return locations closest to an address. We see the /api/v1/locations/closest_by_address.json endpoint but that only returns one location. Is there a way to return all the locations available within a radius?

Thanks for any help on this!

Yes. send_all_within_distance=true. Example:

https://pinballmap.com/api/v1/locations/closest_by_address.json?send_all_within_distance=true;no_details=1;by_machine_id=2771;address=90065;max_distance=50
